My love's an ocean
You better not cross it
Yeah I've been the distance
And I need some rest
Yeah I had somebody once
And damn if I lost her
I've been running
Like a man possessed

I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart
When I'm under the gun
You can break my heart
And I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy
For no one

Yeah, I am a loser
At the top of my game
I should have known
To keep an eye on you
Now I got a sky
That ain't never the same
Yeah, I got a dream
That don't ever come true

I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart
When I'm under the gun
You can break my heart
But I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy
For no one

Sun going down
On a canyon wall
I got a soul
That ain't never been blessed
Yeah and I'm a shadow
At the back of the hall
Yeah, I got a sin
I ain't never confessed

And I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart
When I'm under the gun
You can break my heart
And I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy
For no one

And I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart
When I'm under the gun
You can break my heart
But I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy
For no one
Mudcrutch

Mudcrutch was an American musical group from Gainesville, Florida, whose sound touched on southern rock and country rock. They were first active in the 1970s and reformed in 2007, and are best known for being the band which launched Tom Petty to fame.

Mudcrutch formed in Gainesville in 1970 and soon became a popular act across Florida. The band moved to Los Angeles in 1974 to attract the attention of a record company. Though they signed a contract with Shelter Records, they released only one poor-selling single before breaking up in 1975. The following year, former Mudcrutch members Petty, Mike Campbell, and Benmont Tench formed the core of a new band, the Heartbreakers.

Most of the original Mudcrutch lineup reformed in 2007 to record their first album as a group, which was followed by a tour. A second album followed in 2016. Petty's death in 2017 effectively dissolved the group; Leadon died in 2023.

Nope, this song isn't self-serving at all. Not a bit.

This was one of the last songs Coyote FM played before it sold out to classic rock.  Good stuff from Mr. Petty. I'm glad he got back with his old cronies.  They have a comfortable groove - it's evident in the musicianship and the vocals. No primadonnas here - just a bunch of friends, making music. (Sorta like Farm Dogs, Bernie Taupin's band.)

I must just be in a music mood - I'm liking everything being played so far! {#Roflol}

Yea, but what team in the majors would keep a guy who has not had a hit in over 25 years?{#Eek} And before someone replies that he has had a couple of top 40 hits since then, I don't mean having commercial success, I mean putting out a decent song!

Not a side project, his original band.
If they were really good, he wouldn't have left them.
 
Bravo!

I was a student at U of Fla when Mudcrutch used to play free shows on the lawn. Who knew the skinny little townie would do this well?
